Establishment and obstacle analysis of evidence-based nursing indexes for unplanned hypothermia management in patients undergoing laparoscopic operation.

Background: This study sought to implement evidence-based nursing practices for patients undergoing laparoscopy surgery to prevent unplanned hypothermia, to develop review indicators for evidence-based nursing practices, and to analyze obstacles and contributing factors. Methods: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute health care model as the evidence-based theoretical framework, clinical problems were identified, evidence was systematically researched, evaluated and summarized, an index and method of examination was established, and quality items were examined. According to the results of the baseline review, the obstacles and promoting factors were analyzed, and methods and countermeasures were developed. Results: This study summarized 15 pieces of best evidence in relation to the following 5 aspects: risk assessment, body temperature monitoring, ambient temperature, passive insulation, and active insulation. There were 11 quality review indicators, only 4 of which had compliance rates of 100%. The main obstacle factors were a lack of nursing norms and operating procedures, a lack of information, and a lack of motivation among nursing staff. Conclusions: Based on the best evidence and the professional judgment of clinical staff, the quality review index is scientific and implementable. In the application of this clinical evidence, obstacles and other factors should be solved to promote the transformation of evidence.
